Jaipur. Members of the Sarv Samaj, Jaipur and BJP leaders
on Tuesday held a foot march from BJP head office to

in Jhunjhunu be hanged. The march was taken out under
the leadership of BJP Mahila Morcha state president Alka
Mundra, in which Jayashree Garg, Raghav Sharma, Mohan
Morwal and others also participated. Police stopped the
